Post Op Day Three

Hello!! I had my surgery on the 19th as well, and the exact same story for me!! Ended us staying an extra day at the hospital because i couldn't keep anything down. Every time I would doze off, some stupid piece of equipment started beeping...so I am thrilled to be home and get some rest finally! Let's keep up with each other...and see how things go. I feel better but have a rumble in my tummy that wont stop. Did they advise you to take anything for gas??

Yes! we will most sertainly have to keep up with each other! Im pretty much with out gas pain now, but i have read about some people taking gas x. Id check with the doc first though. Oh man, i keep getting rumbling in my lower stomach..BOY, can that be surprsing..in the way or "leakage" or how ever the correct way of saying sharting..lol! I dont know if that what you mean, but thats where i am!! haha! Hope your feeling better today! today is def better than yesterday for me! <3

Yes, the doc told me to take gas x. I am feeling so much better today. took a shower for the 1st time since surgery...that alone can make you feel like a new person. I need to get my stats and pics up (will try that soon) but just to let you know...I am 35, live in Huntsville, Alabama and weighed in at 275 on my pre-op visit 1 week before surgery. I have no idea where I am at now...I need a scale. As soon as I can get out of the house, I plan to buy one. Thankfully no sharts yet...but I'm sure it's bound to happen...all I have had for nearly a week is liquid...eating broth and popsicles, i hate water...found Sobe brand lifewater...it tastes pretty good. It sucks that I will miss out on the holiday food...but i keep positive by thinking about cute clothes!! hope all is well with you today.

What worked for me was walking... even though you might feel some discomfort walk as much as you can and you will see how all the gas pains go away fast. Good luck!

Your going to feel great.

i was sleeved on 12*19 too, someone on here mentioned when you get the cramping sit straight up, shoulders back, and stick your chest out. It works for me cramping lets right up.
